    Very similar indeed. Mechanically identical but I believe there were a few subtle differences in the stock although what these differences were I could not tell you. Interesting point here however, the actions and rolled tin barrels (into which the liners were inserted) of these tin-plate constructed children’s Webley rifles are believed to have been made by the Milbro company in Scotland who also manufactured the lined barrel children’s range of rifles incorporating the Milbro Diana Mod.16 and the G85 Bob Cat. Milbro Diana made a multitude of full size rifles too, not least the now very rare and "highly collectable" Mod.70 Series 71 (of which I have a pristine example ). ATB & HTH.
